President’s Welcome

I would like to welcome you all to the third annual NASPGHAN/CPNP Nutrition Symposium. I believe this year’s program is our best ever. We listened to your feedback from last year and made some significant changes. We expanded the nutrition content available on Friday to allow participants to take full advantage of their included registration to the NASPGHAN annual meeting. We shortened most of the talks during our Saturday symposium to allow for a greater number and variety of speakers. We changed our breakout sessions to a roundtable format to allow for more interaction with the presenters and your peers. Let us know what you think about these changes so we can continue to provide a high quality experience.

We have also experienced great growth in our Council for Pediatric Nutrition Professionals (CPNP) over this past year. I am delighted to share that we have 130 members as part of our council from throughout North America and we have made great strides towards our council goals. We launched the listserv, developed our website and obtained status as an official provider of continuing professional education (CPE) through the Commission of Dietetic Registration (CDR). We will once again have a brief council meeting during the lunch hour on Saturday. I encourage everyone to attend to learn about what we are currently doing and what we have planned next!

We hope you enjoy this year’s symposium. Next year, in lieu of our regular annual meeting will be the World Congress in Montreal, Canada (October 4-10, 2016), including a full day of nutrition content with presenters from around the world. There will be many more details to come regarding this exciting event. We hope to see many of you there!

Thank you so much for being here.

Sincerely,

Jenny Crouse, MS, RD, CD, CDE President, Council for Pediatric Nutrition Professionals

Appetite Regulation• Leptin: Mediator of long term

energy balance, suppressing the urge to eat when caloric intake maintains ideal fat stores.

• Ghrelin: a fast acting hormone that may play a role in meal initiation

Fat Patterning in Obesity

• Adipocytes from some locations (gluteal & femoral) efficientlycapture excess nutrients from the blood‐stream for storage, while others accumulate TGs but readily release them for use by other tissues.

• During growth periods in childhood: fat cells increase in number• During periods of excess intake: fat cells increase in size• Fat cells reach maximum size: fat cell numbers increase again• Fat loss: cell size may shrink but not the number

HCT – a unique nutritional situation

• History

• Inflammation

• Infection

• Treatment

• Toxicity

• Survivorship

Metabolic impact of HCT

• Changes in energy expenditure

• Changes in body composition

• Changes in bone health

What are the energy requirements of children

undergoing HCT?

• Prospective cohort study of 37 childrenundergoing HCT enrolled in a supportive careregimen including PN provided at 100% ofmeasured REE (as opposed to standard of care)

• REE measured weekly by indirect calorimetry

Are we overfeeding children undergoing HCT?

Study Aims

– Compare body composition in children fed

standard PN (140% estimated REE) vs. PN

titrated to measured REE (“PNTREE”)

– Measure serial changes in REE by indirect

calorimetry over the course of HCT

Dual Energy X-RayAbsorptiometry (DXA)

Measured at baseline, day 30 , and day 100 after HCT

Change in percentage body fat from transplant (baseline) through hospitalization (day 30) and follow‐up (day 100). Repeated‐measures ANOVA indicated no significantdifference in time course between treatments (P = 0.39 for time ∙ treatment interaction)

REE changes over time despite different energy intakes

Bechard, et al. Bone Marrow Transplant 2012 47(10);1301‐6

PNTREEDiscussion

• Total % body fat increased significantly in the standard group by 1.2 +0.5 kg from baseline to 30 days; the increase persisted to 100 days, but wasnot statistically significant– Clinically significant??

• Lean body mass decreased dramatically in both groups, persisted to 100 days, not influenced by increased intake with standard regimen– Suggests need for alternative and adjunctive therapies aimed at preserving

lean mass

• Weight and BMI z-score decrease significantly in both groups over study period– Likely influenced by loss of lean body mass– Is standard regimen simply contributing to increase in body fat?

Clinical outcomes of PNTREE participants

Enteral feeding in pediatric HCT

• Retrospective analysis of 49 pts.,autologous and allogeneic transplants

• NG-tube placed during conditioning or within1st week

• 86% maintained exclusively on EN• No significant weight loss• Engraftment comparable to historical

controls

Langdana, Bone Marrow Transplant, 2001

Feasibility of enteral feeding (EN) in children during allogeneic HCT

• 65 children prospectively enrolled• EN via nasogastric tube on day +1• 50 pts. (77%) received EN only

– Faster platelet recovery (23 vs. 29 days, p=0.01)– Shorter length of stay (29 vs. 40 days, p<0.001)

• 15 pts. (23%) required PN• PN group - more frequent and severe acute

GVHD• No difference in weight or BMI outcomes

PERT Dosing Guidelines

• 3,000‐5,000 total lipase units at eachfeeding initially

• May exceed 10,000 units lipase/day ininfancy

• 1750-2000 units lipase/kg = optimalgrowth

• Frequent adjustments during infancy

Optimizing Enzyme Efficacy

• Synchronize food and enzymes• Dose at beginning or middle of meal• Do not crush or dissolve enzymes taken

orally• Give divided doses for extended meal

times• PPIs do not increase enzyme

effectiveness

Enteral Nutrition and PERT

• No universal strategy to dose enzymeswith tube feedings– Intact enzymes

• PO enzymes before, middle and end of feeding• Suspend beads in nectar and flush into tube

– Mechanical and chemical dissolution• Dissolve beads in bicarbonate solution• Crush beads or non-enteric coated enzymes

– Add to formula + time = predigested formula

45

Troubleshooting Enzymes and Enteral Nutrition

• Anecdotal evidence to use formulaswith more LCT (Two Cal HN™ vs Nutren 2.0™ )

• Dose enzymes based on fat content offormula– 2000 units lipase/gm fat

• Closed tube feeding systems

CF-Related Diabetes

• Occurs in ~ 20% Teens with CF– Start screening with OGTT age 10

• Requires insulin and few diet restrictionswith carb counting– Dose insulin with overnight tube feedings

• Greatly worsens clinical outcomes

Constipation• Very common in CF: Sticky intestinal mucous

• Leads to poor appetite, abdominal pain, symptomsof malabsorption from overflow diarrhea

• Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is common treatment– Daily dosing– Purge clean-outs

• Chronic treatment often required

Cholestatic Diseases

Cholestatic Diseases

• Cholestasis = interruption in bile flow

• Bile: bilirubin, bile salts, cholesterol

• Hallmark disease: biliary atresia (BA)

• Other diseases

– Alagille syndrome

– Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis

– Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency

Mechanisms of Nutritional

Impairment in Cholestasis

Page 52: Naspghan AM 2015 Registration Brochure 061715 Layout 1 Book í. NOTES. Table of ... Clinical Science Year in Review ... Fawaz, Ariel Feldstein, Regy Gonzales-Peralta, Nitika Gupta,

Mechanisms of Malnutrition in Cholestasis

1. Severe depletion of intraluminal bile acids andsecondary fat malabsorption

2. Poor intake due to

a. organomegaly and/or ascites (reduced gastric capacity)

b. anorexia (toxins?)

3. Portal hypertension exacerbates malabsorption

4. Pruritus

Mechanisms of Malnutrition in Cholestasis

5. Increased energy expenditure

• Measured REE almost 30% higher than expected in BA

• Normal infants retain 50% energy intake for growth, but only 35% in BA

6. Hepatic IGF-1

7. Recurrent infections

Assessment of Malnutrition in Cholestasis

1. Weight – affected by ascites

2. Anthropometricsa. mid-arm circumference b. TSFc. Head circumference

Impact of Poor Nutrition in

Cholestasis

Outcomes of Malnutrition in Cholestasis

• Growth failure is an important factor associated with

death or moving to ICU in a multi-center cohort

(mostly BA)

– height or weight <2 s.d., associated with increased morbidity

and mortality PELD

• Growth failure was an independent risk factor for pre-

transplant mortality, post-transplant mortality, and

even graft failure in 755 listed BA patients (SPLIT)

McDiarmid et al, Transplantation 2002 & Utterson et al, J Ped 2005

Outcomes of Malnutrition in Cholestasis

• BA Research Consortium

• N=100

• Infants with BA who ultimately

required LT or died had poorer

growth after HPE compared to

those who survived with their

native liver at 24 months of age

DeRusso et al, Hepatology 2007

MCTs: The Data?

• Difficult to specify the ideal dietary fat content and ratio of MCT to LCT

– Limited data point to better fat solubilization and growth ofcholestatic infants fed with 30% or 70% MCT against a 50/50% mixture of MCT/LCT 

– Very high (>80%) MCT to total lipid risks of essential fatty acid deficiency

– Recent study shows effectiveness of enteral MCT formula (140% DRI) as compared to ad lib oral intake of same formula

Macias-Rosales, JPGN 2015

PUFA / EFA

• Intraluminal bile salt depletion

• Levels difficult to measure and interpret. 

• Most centres lack access to clinical measurement 

Branch chain amino acids (BCAA)

– Randomized study in children with ESLD demonstrated improved nutritional status and body composition in those with BCAA-enriched formula

– MCT-containing complete BCAA formulas are expensive and not readily available

Chin SE et al, 1992

Water and Electrolytes

• Typically normal fluid – rarely restricted

• Sodium restricted to 1-2 mmol/kg/day

– Do not correct the hyponatraemia of ESLD

– Severe hyponatraemia may require fluid restriction

• Potassium 2mmol/kg/day

is low

– mild biochemical deterioration

• Can typically achieve mixed enteral and PN

Parenteral Nutrition

• 20 year retrospective review, single centre

• BA listed for LTx, <36 months

• PN=25, Non-PN=22

• From the start of PN administration to the clinical endpoint, mean 

TSF z‐score increased from ‐2.5 ± 0.2 to ‐1.8 ± 0.2 (p=0.003), and 

mean MAC z‐score increased from ‐2.2 ± 0.2 to ‐1.4 ± 0.2 (p<0.0001).

OverviewWhy worry about iron?

Nutrient-brain interactions- why the brain needs iron

Iron needs in infancy– Sequelae of iron deficiency

Fetal and neonatal iron– Term and preterm infants– Sequelae of iron deficiency

Why Worry About Iron Deficiency?

2 billion people world-wide are iron deficient (WHO)– 30-50% of pregnant women

Every cell/organ system needs iron for proper development and subsequent function

Iron deficiency anemia is associated with clinical symptoms– Due to tissue level ID

– Symptoms occur prior to anemia

Main reason to worry is the effect on the developing brain– Cognitive and motor effects

– Some temporary (while ID), others long-term (after iron repletion)

– The long-term effects are the real cost to society

• Increased depression, anxiety, risk of schizophrenia, autism

• Loss of job and educational potential

Nutrient‐Brain‐Behavior Relationships

Various brain regions/processes have different developmental trajectories

The vulnerability of a brain region to a nutrient is based on

– When nutrient deficit/overload is likely to occur

– Brain’s requirement for that nutrient at that time

Behavioral changes must map onto those brain structures altered by the nutrient effect

From Nelson and Thompson, 2001

Iron:A Critical Nutrient for the Developing Brain

Iron containing enzymes and hemo‐proteins are involved in important cellular processes in developing brain

– Delta 9‐desaturase, glial cytochromes control oligodendrocyteproduction of myelin

– Cytochromes mediate oxidative phosphorylation and determineneuronal and glial energy status

– Tyrosine Hydroxylase involved in monoamine neurotransmitter and receptor synthesis (dopamine, serotonin, norepi)

– ID affects genome while ID and long after ID is treated

ID in Infancy: Who is at risk?

Most postnatal ID is due to inadequate dietary intake ± low stores at birth ± blood loss

– Low stores at birth

– Inadequate dietary intake• Low iron formula

• Breast milk

• Early change to cow milk

– Blood loss• Hemorrhage at birth (anemia)

• Parasitic infection, food intolerance (GI loss)

Neurobehavioral Sequelae of Early Postnatal Iron Deficiency in Humans

Over 50 studies demonstrate dietary ID between 6 and 24 months leads to:

– Behavioral abnormalities (Lozoff et al, 2000)

• Motor and cognitive delays while iron deficient

• Cognitive delays 19-23 years after iron repletion– Arithmetic, writing, school progress, anxiety/depression, social problems

and inattention (Lozoff et al, 2000)

• Characteristic of monoamine and hippocampal dysfunction

– Electrophysiologic abnormalities (delayed ABR latencies)• At 6 months while iron deficient (Roncagliolo et al, 1998)

• At 2-4 years after iron repletion (Algarin et al, 2003)

• Characteristic of impaired myelination

Neurotransmitter Effects in the Rat

Effects on monoamines, esp dopamine, known since late 1970’s(studies by Yehuda, Youdim, Beard)

While ID: Decreased DAT, D1R, D2R and increased SERT– Regional differences- Large effects in striatum, ventral midbrain

– Changes related to timing and severity (E Unger et al, 2012)

Fetal Iron: Endowment and Distribution

Fetuses have 75mg of elemental iron per kilogram body weight during 3rd trimester

– Term infant: 250mg

– 24 weeker (500g): 37.5 mg

Majority is in the RBCs (55mg/kg)

Liver storage pools are relatively large at term (12 mg/kg); serum ferritin >40 mcg/L

Non-storage tissues, including brain, heart, skeletal muscle account for the rest (8 mg/kg)

What Can Negatively Affect Neonatal Iron Status?

Decreased maternal iron supply– Fetus with very iron deficient mother (Hgb<8.5)– Common (>30%) in developing countries– No studies of newborn brain iron status

Decreased placental iron transfer during gestation– Prematurity

• Iron accreted during third trimester• Generally negative iron balance during NICU stay

– IUGR due to maternal hypertension during pregnancy• 50% affected• 75,000 infants per year in US• 32% decrease in brain iron concentration (Georgieff et al, 1995)

– Early cord clamping

Term Infants:What Can Negatively Affect Neonatal Iron Status?

Diabetes Mellitus during pregnancy

– Chronically hypoxic fetus (IDM)=> Increased erythropoeisis

– 65% affected

– 150,000 infants per year in US

– 40% decrease in brain iron concentration (Petry et al, 1992)

Basic principle:

Iron prioritized to RBCs over brain &

other organs when Fe demand> Fe supply

Factors that Determine Preterm Infant Iron Status in the NICU

Negative Iron Balance• Low Endowment (IUGR)

• Phlebotomy Losses

• Iron Rx at 2 months

• Iron Rx < 2mg/kg/d

• rhEpo Rx

• Rapid Postnatal Growth

Positive Iron Balance• Older gestation & AGA

• RBC Transfusion

• Iron Rx at 2 weeks

• Iron Rx @ 2-4 mg/kg/d

• Iron Rx @ 6mg/kd/d c rhEpo

• Parenteral Iron

• Slow Postnatal Growth Rate

Preterm infants have elevated ZnPP at 34 weeks PCA (Winzerling &Kling)

Neurobehavioral Sequelae of Fetal and Neonatal IDFewer studies than in postnatal ID

– Decreased maternal iron status• increased risk of schizophrenia in offspring (Insel et al, 2008)• increased risk of autism in offspring (Schmidt et al, 2014)

– Term infants with low neonatal iron stores have• impaired auditory recognition memory processing (Siddappa et al, 2004)

• poorer school age neurodevelopment (Tamura et al, 2002)

• worse immediate and delayed recall at 3.5 y (Riggins et al, 2009)

– Preterm infants with now iron stores at 36 weeks PCA• more abnormal reflexes (Armany-Sivan, 2006)

• longer conduction times on BAER (Amin et al, 2010)

– Early iron supplementation in preterms => higher mental processing composite score at 5.3 years (Steinmacher et al, 2007)

SUGGESTS SIGNIFICANT HIPPOCAMPAL AND MYELIN IMPAIRMENTS

Hippocampal Effects: Rodent ModelsShort and long-term genomic changes (ES Carlson et al, 2007)

– Dendritic structure, synaptic efficacy, oxidative metabolism

Reduced energy status (M deUngria et al, 2000)

Glutamate and GABA sequestration (R Rao et al, 2003)

Altered dendritic morphology (ES Carlson et al, 2009)*

Long-term suppression of BDNF and its receptor (P Tran et al, 2009)

Reduced LTP (long-term potentiation) (Pisasnsky et al, 2013)

Reduced learning and memory– Morris Water Maze (B Felt and B Lozoff, 1996)

– Radial Arm Maze (AT Schmidt et al, 2007)

Summary

• Iron plays a critical role in early neurodevelopment

• Early iron deficiency without anemia affects brainfunction

• ID brain/behavior alterations persist after resolution ofID

• Early detection of at-risk infants is crucial for brainhealth

• Need new tools to detect pre-anemic iron deficiency

Enteral Nutrition 

• For a period of 6 to 8 weeks the diet is abeverage that will support nutrient needs

• These beverages replace standard meals

• No solid foods are included

• Either take by mouth or given by tube

Theories as to why it works

• Providing calories and nutrients• Removal of dietary components which

– Affect microbial composition– Decrease pro‐inflammatory responses– Promote restitution of the epithelial barrier

26

How well does exclusive enteral nutrition work?

• Response rates:– In adults: 55%– In children: 50% to 75%

• Effective for Crohn’s disease but not Ulcerative Colitis– May be more effective in small bowel Crohn’s

• Elemental (hypoallergenic) and Polymeric (wholeprotein) formulas both seem to work

• Probably not a good long term treatment• Partial enteral nutrition has shown a 50% reduction in

relapse in CD compared to a regular diet.

Diets Targeting Symptom Control 

• Low Residue/Fiber• Low Lactose• Low FODMAP

34

Symptom Control

Low Fiber/residue diet• Indications

– To prevent bowel obstructions in patients withCrohn’s disease and narrowed segments of intestine.

• (Gut 1985:26: 989‐93) 71 patients following low fiber were randomized to reintroduce fiber, showing no difference in outcome 

– To reduce (not eliminate) the residue in the colonpre‐ and postoperatively. 

– Definition is usually < 10 grams fiber per day. Thediet is intended for short‐term use.

Nutrition in Clinical Practice 2015 30:462‐73

Why not continue on low fiber?

• High red meat protein intake• High fat • Trend towards highly refined foods with food 

additives and preservatives with added soybeanoil (sources of Omega‐6)

• Fiber  offers pro and prebiotics that change thebalance of beneficial bacteria.

• Lignans, flavonoids and anti‐oxidants from fruits and vegetables

• Higher sodium intake especially problematic withuse of steroids

Nutrition care for children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation - now and later Lori J. Bechard, PhD, RD, LDN Case presentation • 17 yo female with CML, presents for HCT from unrelated donor • Well nourished at presentation • High dose cyclophosphamide & TBI for conditioning --> Anorexia, nausea, emesis

Inpatient course

• PN initiated to provide 140% estimated requirements • Minimal oral intake for 3 weeks • Engraftment at 24 days post transplant • Slow resumption of oral intake

Outpatient course

• Discharged from hospital • Oral intake continues to improve with resolution of mucositis • Readmitted 2 weeks later with abdominal pain, diarrhea, anorexia • Colonoscopy and biopsy revealed graft-versus-host disease

Acute GI GVHD

• Treated with prednisone, mycophenylate, cyclosporine • Kept NPO for large amounts of bloody stool • Diet SLOWLY liberalized with decreasing stool output • Poor oral intake persists with accompanying weight loss

Enteral feedings initiated

• G tube placed • Supplemental feedings with polymeric formula • Oral intake somewhat improved • Discharged with overnight G tube feedings

Case update

• Oral intake up and down • Uses G tube for medications, occasional feedings • Weight gain remains problematic • Persistent chronic oral GVHD; at risk for osteoporosis with long term steroids Questions for discussion 1. How should energy needs be assessed in children undergoing HCT? 2. What is the best route for feeding children undergoing HCT? 3. How do complications of HCT impact nutritional status, both short term and long term?

Nutrition challenges in a medically and socially complex child with Cystic Fibrosis Tami Miller, RD, CSP, CD

 

Initial Presentation:  4 yr old male with CF (F508del/621+1G‐‐>T) and pancreatic insufficiency arrived in ER with respiratory distress, worsening cough, poor weight gain and growth.  He previously received care out of state and moved to Wisconsin 9 months earlier; interim care was managed by his PMD.  Child received G‐tube feedings beginning at age two, but the move resulted in a lapse of supplies, formula and medication refills.  The child lived in a chaotic household which resulted in foster placement within a few months of receiving care at our institution.   

Growth  July, 2013

Height (z‐score)  91.4 cm (‐3.5)Weight (z‐score)  11.5 kg (‐ 4.4)BMI (z‐score)   4% (‐1.8)

 

Physical assessment:  Extremity wasting, thin hair, barrel chest, clubbing, distended abdomen.  He appeared 1‐2 years younger than reported age.  Lung function (FEV1) was 50% of predicted value. 

Nutrition Prescription:  Estimated energy needs based on DRI:  1500+ calories (130 Cal/kg); 26+ grams protein (2.2 gm/kg);  

Nutrition Intervention:  High calorie oral diet; peptide based 1 cal/ml formula:  3 cans over night; 1 can in AM & PM (1200 cals / 38 gm pro = 80% enteral support).   

Zenpep 10,000 3/meal & before daytime tube feedings; 2/snack; 3 crushed in overnight tube feeding.  CF vitamins + vit. D 

Interval History: In the next year of care at CF Center, child had intermittent CF exacerbations with 3 courses of IV antibiotics.  FEV1 = 80% predicted. He was in foster care and received consistent respiratory and nutrition therapies.  Foster parents note slow eating; refusal to sit at table; poor appetite; distracted at meals.  Foster parents want G‐tube removed.  

Revised Nutrition Intervention:  High calorie diet; peptide based 1.5 cal/ml formula:  3 cans overnight with 5 crushed Zenpep 10,000.  Estimated energy needs increased to 1770 Calories/day (105 Cal/kg) to support increased weight, activity, lung function, growth.  Enteral nutrition supplied 66% of energy needs. 

Cyproheptadine prescribed.  Behavioral strategies implemented:  Limit meals to 20 minutes, no grazing, positive behaviors rewarded; negative behaviors ignored.  

Growth  July, 2013 August, 2014

Height (z‐score)  91.4 cm (‐3.5) 104 cm (‐ 2.1)Weight (z‐score)  11.5 kg (‐ 4.4) 16.8 kg (‐1.6)BMI (z‐score)   4% (‐1.8) 55% (0.12)

 

Recent Updates:   FEV1 improved to 85% predicted with one hospitalization in last year.  Child attends school which requires “healthy” foods at snack and lunch, and limited time to eat. Poor appetite continues.  Weight did not increase in 6 months.   

Updated Nutrition Interventions:  PM tube feeding was restarted for additional support.  Energy needs increased to 1700‐1940 Calories/day (90‐102 Cal/kg).  Enteral nutrition now supplies 77‐88% of estimated needs.   

Growth  July, 2013  August, 2014 June, 2015 

Height (z‐score)  91.4 cm (‐3.5)  104 cm (‐ 2.1) 111 cm (‐1.8) Weight (z‐score)  11.5 kg (‐ 4.4)  16.8 kg (‐1.6) 19 kg (‐1.3) BMI (z‐score)   4% (‐1.8)  55% (0.12) 50% (0) 

 

Discussion:  What are some approaches to pancreatic enzyme therapy with tube feeding support? 

What approaches can be considered to work towards “normal” eating schedule by increasing the number of meals while balancing enteral feedings to meet the need for adequate nutrition?   

How much recovery of growth could be expected over time?

Infant formula concentrated to 0.8kcal/ml. 10 months old – spontaneous femur fracture. Weight now falling. Cessation of linear growth. Itching worsens. 12 months old – GT inserted. 14 months – weight gain improved. Gaining 21 g/day. Taking small amount of solids. Itching worsening. 23 months – biliary diversion. 34 months – listed for liver transplantation. Discussion Points:

1. What are the potential causes of growth impairment in Alagille syndrome? 2. What are the particular considerations of considering a G-tube in a child

with Alagille syndrome? 3. What are the nutritional implications of a biliary diversion? 4. How does a liver transplant impact growth and nutrition in Alagille

syndrome?

July 29, 2015 14 years 10 months Symptoms : complaint of focal lower abdominal pain, early satiety and weight loss, had suggested further imaging to assess the status of his Crohn’s disease. An MRI of the abdomen completed on July 9 demonstrated “severe active inflammation of the long segment of distal small bowel, with prestenotic dilation and intraluminal stasis. Additional short segment of mild active inflammation in the left upper quadrant. Findings are in keeping with active Crohn’s flare.” In the several weeks since these findings he has been taking several cans of Ensure on a daily basis but is unable to be large volumes of food. He was suggested to follow a low residue diet given the severity of his stenosis. Fortunately, he has not had any suggestion of obstruction to this point.

Altered GI function related to Crohn’s disease evidenced by MRI. There are strictures that may require surgery. The only known nutrition based therapy to decrease inflammation is 100% enteral nutrition.

Nutrition Intervention: Discussed what is known about use of nutrition as a primary treatment for Crohn’s disease.

Encouraged the use of 5 to 6 Boost plus (or provide samples of Ensure plus , Pedisure Peptide or Peptamen (all 1.5 calories/cc) for the next 6 to 8 weeks as a primary therapy for Crohn’s .

AM agreed to this therapy in hopes of avoiding surgery. It was made clear that this therapy will be part of a medical plan that should maximize the changes of avoiding surgery, but will not guarantee.
